China Poot Reds

The last weekend of July our family sneaked back to Halibut Cove for the weekend! Up early on a low tide to try dip netting for red salmon...
Just below Poot Peak, we followed the channel up to China Poot... too late to make it in on the low tide, we went back to bed until the high tide!
 Chest waders, dip nets, and a back pack as they trekked upstream.
What peaceful beauty.
 Pure focus!
 Brandon got 10 of our 11 with this net, a true miracle! :)
 Jordan, the "Fish Whisperer" coaxed one into his net.
 A sweet spot - Brandon scooped 4 in about 2 minutes!
 An incredible view of Iliamna as we left the lagoon.
 A great catch of reds filled up our canner for 16 pts. of fish, plus!
